dwtaylor1055 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I suppose if both Perkins and Rice can blow past their defenders with ease that would offset the higher 3pt percentage want here from the two guards. Defenders are forced to help down or allow Rice/Perkins to get to the rim or in the paint for a short range shot or dish to a big/slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have probably 2 open starting positions at most, point guard and shooting guard. If you think we’re getting 6 “great” players to come in for 2 starting spots, you probably don’t understand this stuff very well. I appreciate you questioning my basketball acumen. Leland Walker is not coming to IU to come off the bench. Another high caliber guard is not coming here to split 20 minutes a game with Leland. Leland is a great back up to the back up to the back up of options. If you want to see the same team from the last 3 years of not shooting threes, go ahead. Bring in T Perk and Walker. let them play together. They average .5 and 1.2 3pt shots a game respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think we’re getting 6 “great” players to come in for 2 starting spots, you probably don’t understand this stuff very well. Lets let it play out. This staff is solid and has it all under control. Surely they learned from the last year of mis-management of the roster. Or we will learn if they are to old to change. Off to a great start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 8 hours ago, 02Hoosier said: 28% 3p shooter? Ugh I would love to have 40% 3pt shooters across the board but if my point guard is elite at breaking down the defense and finishing off the dribble or finding shooters…guard his position..and has high basketball IQ…sign me up. You can surround him with some shooters (if you go this route you need to have a hella of shooter at the other guard spot. He definitely has handles and great vision…shot needs to get tighter but like I said…coach him up on good shot selection and partner him with a great pick n roll partner and couple of shooters…he will be fine. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the video. I wasn't really familiar with him, I admittedly just looked at his 3p shooting. It seems he is highly regarded and I liked his ability to break down the defense as you mentioned. He reminds me a little bit of Braden Smith in his pick and roll game and quickness getting to the basket and finding the open guy. I'd certainly be down to add him I just pray we can get someone (or 3 or 4 guys) who can seriously shoot it. I don't know how much more IU basketball I can watch with teams who can't shoot at a high or even decent level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
